WHO WE SERVE

Heart of Compassion serves those in South Carolina and nationwide facing poverty and hardship by equipping churches/agencies to provide non-food essentials to families in need. Many struggle to afford basic necessities like diapers, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and soap—items often taken for granted but vital for dignity and well-being. Without them, families face difficult choices, and the stress of unmet needs can be just as overwhelming as food or housing insecurity.

That’s why we are committed to equipping churches/agencies with these non-food essentials—offering relief, restoring dignity, and reminding families that God sees their struggles and cares for their every need.

Low-income families and individuals often struggle to afford basic necessities that government assistance does not cover. Without these essentials, illnesses can arise, causing missed work and school, which only deepens the cycle of poverty. The stress of unmet needs can be just as overwhelming as food or housing insecurity, impacting both physical and emotional well-being. For many, living in poverty means one unexpected hardship could push them into financial crisis—but through God’s love and provision, hope and support can make all the difference.

Many Americans believe that government assistance provides everything a family in need requires, but this is far from the truth. Programs like SNAP only cover food, leaving families struggling to afford essential non-food items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, laundry detergent, and hygiene products. Other necessities, like toilet paper, paper towels, and diapers, also fall outside of assistance programs, forcing families to make difficult choices. According to Feeding America, 58% of families living in poverty must cut back on food just to afford these basic essentials—highlighting the urgent need for support and compassion.

Our mission is to bring relief and stability by equipping churches/agencies with nonperishable essentials to serve those in need with kindness and compassion. We strive to ease burdens by providing these necessary items while offering Christ-centered support, helping to restore dignity and break the cycle of poverty through love and provision.
